Back in Windows 7 ..... submitted the above post,opened Hardinfo to add more hardware info and had an instant freeze with distorted display and no keyboard input.Hard poweroff.

Might have to await 3.9 James before you can have any fun with f2fs! BTW, I did read about PV's avoidance of 3.8x. What gets me is how the kernel devs get some things so wrong when in previous versions they were stable . .

I did experiment rolling back to 3.7.10 and 3.6.11 but f2fs was a failure on those. I couldn't see any other advantage of those over 3.4.17 in slacko-5.5 proper.

I'll see if I can compile the latest nvidia proprietary driver so that cards like yours can at least have full acceleration, although I do notice you do seem to get some with those glxgears numbers. Do you happen to have any 3d games to test acceleration under your stated setup?_________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |

Downloaded and installed Phat on a Lenovo T61.....works very well
However, when I tried to install SKYPE 4.0 with pkg manager from slackware repositories......checked fro dependencies.....it will be a huge 423 MB download !!!
Anybody can verify this ?
Thanks!

Try Skype 4.2 - about 50MB for the 2 sfs's - should work fine on PhatSlacko

Well and good to try skype-4.2 but there is skype-4.1 in the Sfs Manager from the Setup menu.

Be aware too that Qt (the other sfs peebee mentions in the post linked) is already on the PHATSlacko Adrive (ie: is part of the system). Only the skype sfs is needed. Getting the other Qt sfs linked won't do any harm but will waste valuable resources on your system._________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |

My health has kept me from my computer, however, I finally got around to checking out your PHATSlacko. It's a super distribution with everything checked working great on my hardware except for the nvidia driver.

PPM NVIDIA driver installation did not work so I had to revert back to nv. When trying to compile the latest driver '319.23', I get an error: "Unable to find the system utility 'ldconfig'; make sure you have the package 'glibc' installed." This usually indicates that the devx or kernel source is not loaded. I was under the impression that they are contained in the adrive. Also, I haven't found the scripts used to edit the adrive. Is there a pet utility available for edit of the adrive?

Thanks for continuing to support Bibletime which installed fine using the PPM.

So after using the universal installer to frugal install and finding that there was no Menu>Network>Samba Simple Management, and that several of the desktop icons do nothing when you click them, I found this thread and manually copied the adrv_slacko_5.5.02.sfs to the install directory. This gave me the Menu>Network>Samba Simple Management but the "write" and "calc" desktop icons still do nothing.

What is the correct method to install this? Boot from the CD and use the Universal Installer and then manually copy the adrv_slacko_5.5.02.sfs from the CD, or do not run the universal installer at all and instead just manually copy each of these files from the CD to the install directory:
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
puppy_slacko_5.5.05.sfs
adrv_slacko_5.5.02.sfs
